Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 262
"Mr. Lin, is the hundred or so dishes enough? How about I order a few more? Or serve all the dishes on the menu once?" Liu Bang blushed, with an expression of excitement that he couldn't help himself.

More than 30 Han emperors, descendants of hundreds of years later will appear on the stage.

Can he, the ancestor of the old Liu family, not be excited?
You see, the name has changed at this moment.

Just now Xiaolin, Xiaolin, or young people...

Now we all come to honorably call him "Little Lin".

"That's enough, all we want are big portions." Lin Feng replied.

"I'm afraid it's still a little less, Mr. Lin, you are a person from the future more than 2000 years later. You have supernatural powers, such as good food, good wine, isn't it just a job that comes out of thin air with a wave of your hand, so you should give it to me." To save face, add another eighty dishes?" Liu Bang walked up to him, took Lin Feng's hand, and said in a sincere tone.

"Emperor Gao Zu, adding eighty dishes is not a big problem, but it will cost money!" Lin Feng replied with a bitter face.

"Spend money?"

"You can travel through time and space, and you are in the category of gods, so why do you need to spend money?" Liu Bang was puzzled.

"Emperor Gaozu, those are all dishes from 2000 years later, they are real, they need to be cooked by the chefs of later generations, not conjured up, each dish, of course, has to pay for each dish..."

Lin Feng was patiently explaining that the "modern cuisine" needed this time was really too much.

If you swipe your palm and directly disappear the dishes from the kitchens of various modern restaurants, you will be too immoral.

So before entering the palace, he spent some time secretly contacting several major modern restaurants and asking them to prepare meals.

More than 200 dishes, the cost is not small.

"This……"

Liu Bang lowered his voice and asked almost quietly, "Mr. Lin, how much money do you need?"

Lin Feng said, "The money from the Han Dynasty also pays the food bills of the descendants of the tribe!"

"That's a problem."

"What can I do?"

"Mr. Lin, what do you need?"

"Since the emperors of the old Liu family are gathered together, I, the founding emperor, can't be too stingy. Tell me, whatever I have, I will give it to you." Liu Bang promised, patting his chest.

What kind of reward does Lin Feng need?

It has to be said that he really didn't think it through, and he himself didn't expect that this conversation would turn out like this.

The audience who watched the show thought of various ways for him.

"Host, it's not easy. Gold is a hard currency. It's a good thing in any era."

"Brother, Liu Bang can't even eat, where did he get the gold?"

"If there are, I'm afraid there are very few. After all, most of them are buried in the cemetery of the First Emperor!"

"Let's ask for some ancient cultural relics, such as those from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Thieves are valuable."

"Hey, I'm afraid that what I bring back is not the cultural relics of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but the products of last week."

"Host, I have a good idea. Let Han Gaozu write a poem on the bamboo slips, and then sign his name. The price is definitely not cheap."

"Good guy, who knows if it's Han Gaozu's signature?"

"Bronze and iron vessels such as bronze tripods from that era are of great research value."

……

In the lens.

But Lin Feng said, "Emperor Gao Zu, how about this, the younger generation sees that it is not easy for you to govern the country, so let's put this money on credit for now, and it will be the same when you pay the bill when you become prosperous in the future."

"Credit?"

"Free food?"

"Is that the kind of person I am?" Liu Bangyi said in a serious manner, which seemed to be the same thing.

But his expression clearly deceived himself.

Before the uprising in Pei County, didn't he just eat free food all day long on credit?
Before Lin Feng could speak, the style of painting changed, Liu Bang took Lin Feng's hand, and said happily, "This is inevitable, I am now the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the Emperor Gaozu in your future generations, so naturally a few coppers from you are indispensable, what do you say?" Yes or no?"

This passage is very Liu Bang.

The audience speaks at once.

"It's over, the host will definitely not come back with this money."

"Hey, Han Gaozu wants to eat free food on credit again, and he's doing his job."

At this time, in the hall of time and space more than 2000 years ago, another host, Bailu, has not yet appeared.

And one by one ancient small banquet wooden tables have been set up.

Lin Feng turned on the system function, and summoned the dishes produced by the modern restaurant to the space-time plane of the Han Dynasty.

In Liu Bang's dumbfounded expression, plates of modern porcelain dishes fell from the sky one by one.

Obviously, the dishes are just out of the oven, and they are still steaming!
Stir-fried pork with chili, Kung Pao chicken, boiled fish slices, roast duck, white-cut chicken, etc...

Through the screen, the audience seemed to be able to smell the aroma of the dish.

Liu Bang also stretched his neck and sniffed the air vigorously, regardless of his imperial posture.

More than 200 dishes fell down and filled every table.

The whole hall is lingering with an incomparably strong aroma.

"Emperor Gao Zu, good wine goes well with good food, you should also taste the wine of later generations." Lin Feng said with a smile.

In full view, barrels of beer appeared.

Why is it an iron bucket?

Cold beer!
Afterwards, several boxes of expensive and famous wines fell from the sky, and the words "Liaotai Wine" appeared on each box.

At this time, the originally spacious ancient hall was already slightly crowded.

Looking at the good wine and good food from later generations, Liu Bang grinned, and kept saying that they are all good things in the future!

The real protagonists also began to appear.

The first one to appear was Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, born of Lu Zhi, a young emperor.

Lin Feng, the host of later generations, stood on one side and introduced the opening remarks:
"Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty inherited the throne at the age of 16 and died at the age of 23. After he came to the throne, he implemented benevolent government, reduced taxes, promoted Cao Shen to the prime minister, Xiao Gui Cao Sui, the politics was clear, the country was peaceful and the people were safe. The policy of living with the people promoted economic prosperity. In terms of ideology and culture, he abolished the confinement of the Qin Dynasty, replaced the legalist theory with Huang-Lao philosophy, and opened the door to the development of various ideas. However, during the reign of the benevolent Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, the power was actually in the hands of the strong mother Lu Hou. Therefore, when Sima Qian wrote "Historical Records", he did not even set up the "Benji of Emperor Hui", but set up "The Jiji of Empress Dowager Lu."

The moment Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty saw Liu Bang, he knelt down with a look of shame for his father.

"Liu Ying, get up, how many times have you said that the emperor must stand up to the sky and leave the ground, look at yourself, do you have the posture of an emperor?" Liu Bang was quite displeased, in his eyes, it seemed that he had never valued this character Weak son.

Liu Bang was successful in his life, but he, the prince, was obviously unqualified.

Emperor Hui of the Han stood up, still with a sad expression, and his eyes were terribly empty.

"Mr. Lin, why did Liu Ying only reign for seven years? Was she killed by the queen?" Liu Bang asked.

"Yes, but not." Lin Feng was ambiguous.

"What do you mean?" Liu Bang asked again.

"According to historical records, Empress Lu was very vicious. She turned Madam Qi into a human pig, and was foreseen by Emperor Hui of the Han unintentionally. Afterwards, she was terrified day and night, and died in depression." Lin Feng said in a clear voice.

"Human pig?"

"Madam Qi?"

"Tell me in detail..." Liu Bang's face darkened, and he immediately transformed into that peerless hero, with his dragon eyes horizontally shining brightly, as if there was going to be a bloodbath in this brilliant palace.

Why did Madam Qi be made into a pig, the cruelest form of torture in ancient times?

What is a human pig?人彘(zhì) , hog also, that is, pig.

Renzhu refers to a torture that turns people into pigs.

They cut off their limbs, gouged out their eyes, poured copper into their ears to make them deaf (fume deaf), poured opioids into their throats, cut off their tongues, damaged their vocal cords, and made them unable to speak, and then threw them into the toilet. Cut off the nose, shave the head, shave all the eyebrows (not just the eyebrows and hair, but also the eyelashes), and then apply a medicine to destroy the hair follicles, so that the hair follicles will no longer grow after they fall off, and will never grow hair again , and then pull out one by one, and if some feel tired, they will be pulled out together.

If any skin falls off or dies during execution, the executioner will be sneered at and even lose his job.

Some died during the execution, and those who survived were put in the toilet and made into human pigs.

The most famous one is that the Empress Dowager Lu of the Han Dynasty made Mrs. Qi into a human pig, and arranged for a special person to "take care", and then discarded it in the latrine and let her die in pain, cut off her ears, and even scratched her face.

This is one of the very cruel tortures invented by Empress Lu to deal with Madam Qi.

Mrs. Qi is deeply favored by Liu Bang, not only because of her youth and beauty, but also because she is good at dancing and singing, and her skills are outstanding, especially the "dance with sleeves up and waist down", which is a kind of dance that pays attention to waist and sleeves. The dance form, the dance is beautiful and beautiful, and it is matched with the music, which is very popular with Liu Bang.So they often lived a life of singing and dancing in the palace, and Madam Qi was also very proficient in musical instruments, so Madam Qi's status in Liu Bang's heart was even more important.

Empress Lu saw these things in her eyes and kept them in her heart. She was always indignant towards Madam Qi, so she waited for an opportunity to kill her.

So after Liu Bang's death, Empress Lu treated Mrs. Qi as a person worse than a maidservant, gave her rags to wear, locked her feet with iron chains, and forced her to pound rice non-stop. Don't give me food.

In order to avenge her previous neglect, Empress Lu shaved off Madam Qi's beautiful hair and scratched her face. Even so, Empress Lu did not vent her hatred, so she thought of ways to torture Madam Qi.

So a "human pig" was born under Lu Hou. She ordered her men to chop off all the limbs of Madam Qi, gouged out her eyes with tools, leaving only two bloody black holes, and deafened her ears so that she could not hear. She cut off her tongue and fed her dumb medicine to make her unable to speak, not only shaved her hair but also pulled out her eyebrows and eyelashes, and put on ointment to make her never grow.

Madam Qi, who was tortured in this way, was finally thrown into the toilet by Empress Lu, and she was allowed to crawl and die to relieve her hatred.

From then on, Mrs. Qi lived an inhuman life. Not only her eyes were gouged out, but all her body hair and even her eyelashes were pulled out. In the end, her ears could not hear or speak, and even her hands and feet were chopped off. In order not to let Mrs. Qi die as soon as possible Empress Lu also sent a special person to take care of her, so that Madam Qi could not wish to die, and she was left alive in the toilet for the "human pig".

Empress Lu was very satisfied with her masterpiece, so she asked her son Liu Ying, who was the emperor of the Han Dynasty at that time, to watch it. Liu Ying heard that her mother asked him to see the "human pig", because she didn't know what it was or what it was. I felt strange, but unexpectedly saw that this was a "human" with only a human body, a scratched face, no hair on the head, no limbs and no eyes, but the body could still move and lived in an extremely distorted state.

When Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty learned that the "person" was Mrs. Qi, he was very disappointed with his mother, so he couldn't afford to get sick, ignored the government affairs, and finally died of illness, and Mrs. Qi died within a few days after being "watched" up.

……

After hearing this, Liu Bang trembled all over, with terrifying anger. Since Tianlinggai, he has the terrifying aura of being angry with an emperor and laying down millions of corpses.

What about Emperor Hui of Han in front of him?She was frightened and stupid, and collapsed to the ground, looking desperate and helpless.

"Where is my third son, Ruyi?" Liu Bang gritted his teeth and said.

"It is said that before Madam Qi died, the queen was found and killed." Lin Feng said.

"Damn woman, she is as poisonous as a snake!" Liu Bang was about to give an order, but was stopped by Lin Feng. History is a foregone conclusion. No matter what he does, he can't change the course of history.

"Eh……"

"Why?"

After Liu Bang said a mantra, he sat on the throne weakly, exhaled foul breath, and sighed. Then he looked at Liu Ying's expression, obviously a little more fatherly, and said slowly, "Liu Ying, you, Sit aside!"

After the heavy atmosphere, the third emperor of the Han Dynasty appeared.

of course.

There are no two young emperors of Han who were killed by Empress Lu, but Emperor Wen of Han, a generation of Ming emperors through the ages.
